  • Thanks to you sir,I have been listening to this thing for the last several hours,now officially hooked

  • @ramatirthadasa

    Hi there!

    Thanks for the positive comment. I going to remake this video one day.

    Kostas.

  • did people actually read like that? sounds like it's taking too long. or is it being read in a more musical way? sorry for the question, it's just that my teacher doesn't read like that and I'd like to know which was the real way.

    Hi there,

    In this case, the meter is basically long. That's why it takes too long. I assume that I put a delay effect on my voice, which makes the meter even longer. It was silly, I know. I intend to remake this video in the future. I didnt like it too. Thanks so much for your comment. It was very useful. :)

    Kostas. 

  • @kakosuranosx oh I see! :) no, it's not silly, I was just confused. Thank you for your reply, good luck with your next videos.

  • @VickyHP Thank you! :)

    Not really. If you know scansion, its a rookie mistake.

    It's nice and all that you know how to pronounce Latin to an extent. But it's really important to know your meters and each of them have different rhythm and recognize the rules of scanning them so that you can read them properly.

  • @APuzzledMind It's a minor mistake, you must have quite an ear to notice something like that :O But it's true, it is 3 syllables. That's why in many medieval texts they spell it "aër", to denote it's not a diphtong :)

  • i was really touched by the accent and emotive devices in your reading, they really tickled my fancy. not gonna lie, i wanted to cry when Icarus died, and i felt that the juxtaposition between your laugh when Daedalus was searching for him, and the pathos we were meant to feel at his desperation was truly effective. An Oscar winning performance

  • At 1:02, I believe you pronounced aera as 2 syllables when it should be 3 syllables.

    What I get is dactyl dactyl spondee dactyl dactyl spondee, since the Metamorphoses is dactylic hexameter(I think?).
